ep 4 review

1.Xuan Nu, Li Jing, and Si Yin spend a lot of time together as Xuan Nu is a friend of Si Yin and Li Jing is Si Yin's lover.

2.It soon becomes evident to the audience that Xuan Nu is bitter and jealous. She is hiding out here to avoid marrying a black bear spirit. She also has feelings for Li Jing. She is able to get Su Yin to teach her some magic that allows her to use BQ's face (I find this odd)

3.They encounter an untamed phoenix who is startled by Li Jing and Si Yin. Si Yin uses the Jade Purity fan to render it unconscious.

4.Unsurprising, she uses this face to seduce Li Jing...

--throughout all of this, MY remains in seclusion....

5/10 - So disappointed in Li Jing.

Well Li Jing was easily led astray and swayed. I had such high hopes. After he follows Si Yin to the mountain. Then even ninth disciple vouches for him. I really thought this love story was going to go somewhere good. It's disappointing how easily Li Jing was tricked. I suppose he just wanted a woman who easily said yes and had no other people in her heart. He was so ready to disband his wives (how does one do that?). Maybe it was a sign that he doesn't stick to anyone? It broke my heart that Si Yin discovered that after that letter. Not to mention how much she's helping Xuan Nu out. Even coming up with that clever plan to make her mother leave so she wouldn't have to marry the bear.

Xuan Nu really turned fast. That flashback to Bai Qian and her talk of jealousy and the face changing. Makes me wonder if Xuan Nu knows Si Yin is indeed Bai Qian. Why else would she go for Li Jing so swiftly. I can't imagine being with a Ghost Prince is better than a black bear? Or who knows about which status is better. Though it seems Ghosts are really down on the totem.

This is really ramping up the story. So it's clear Si Yin doesn't see Master that way. Though I keep getting vibes from master he might. An interesting setup no doubt. Though I'm not sure if the writers can save Li Jing for me. I hate easily swayed men. Especially after they make the moves and confessions. So easily led astray.
